| Whats on your turntable tonight? Buddy Tate - The Great Buddy Tate (Concord 1981) | |
| You are invited on a "trip down memory lane". Oh, they also dispatched a Garrard 301 and a box of spare tubes like CV4004/M8137/ECC803S etc. probably worth $000s now. | |
| You are invited on a "trip down memory lane". The 10 tube phono preamp with dual regulated supplies and oversized external transformers I built back in the 80s which my folks threw away in ignorance when I was abroad.

| Harman Kardon TA-230 tuning knobs Like these? | |
| Pick my next tonearm....PLEASE Both are fine tonearms. You may not need to spend so much though. Look at the Jelco 850S from George Merrill for around $900 with the JAC501 cable. | |

| Question about EAT Turntable B Sharp is a pared down C Major. Isn't the headshell fixed on these arms? | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s Congrats on a beautiful amp. 6moons has a good write-up on the Yamamoto. The consensus is that the EML tubes push an already pretty hot amp into the lit up category. | |
| How old to qualify for vintage? I think of it in different ways.1. Tubes and idlers (hard vintage)2. Pre-digital (soft vintage) | |
| Newbie Question Check out these amps as an idea of what's out there off the beaten path. | |
| Newbie Question 97dB will play loud with even a few watts. Depending on budget, speaker quality, and wherewithal, you could jump straight into a nice SET. If that's not for you, any tube integrated or power amp will be a massive improvement over solid state recei... |
